Well it's a small world
had a newish supply teacher in today.....
sat chatting and he mentioned he asked me if I'd seen a Sibe Rubythroat ' yeah loads' i answered thinking he was a NOB....conversation developed and it turned out he found the one in 1975 on Fair Isle and the the Pallas' Reed Bunting. 'What Bill Oddie's PRB?' I asked. Turned out it was Bill's best mate Andy Lowe as mentioned in Bill's early books.
A nice bird filled conversation followed all morning including a story about Bill burning down a hut on Out Skerries!..........looking forward to more stories tomorrow
a nice man, a very nice man!
btw NOB is birding slang for Non Birder
